Rolling Stone Cover to Cover: The First 40 Years Reviews:
NO PROBLEMS!
2008-09-28 - For the price, you can not beat this product. 40 years of the magazine including ads. I spent a few hours when I first got it and I already feel like I have my money's worth.
Just to comment on three of the reviews I read here.
1. If you can not read all the discs or the program works slowly, it is your system. PERIOD.
2. If you can't find the way to copy the DVDs to your hard drive, you may want to give up on using a computer. Here's how you do it. Click on FILE and then select COPY DISC TO HARD DRIVE. Wow, that is SO COMPLICATED. Sorry for being so negative, but I am really disturbed by people who sit down to write a negative review when they didn't take the time to look into the problem, or when they are too "challanged" to understand it.
3. If you are printing 2 pages on one 8/5" by 11" page, of course you can't read it. Change to "Read Mode" or "Page Mode" before you print and print one page on a page and you will be able to read it.

Great item reasonable price
2008-09-06 - I just loaded the software and began to use the product today. I was a little uneasy because of some of the comments that I had read about the Bondi reader especially because my system met only the minimum memory requirement. The reader worked great. It was easly to install, good search features and displayed the pages nicely. I wish it had more options for printing. When you print the whole page---the print is pretty small. The content is all there. The resolution of pictures on some of the older issues is not very good, but that probably has to do with the original quality of the printing. A few of the pages I have noticed were scanned slightly crooked.

On the plus side, every issue is there and easily accessible. I have bought old issues on e-bay and probably 3 or 4 issues purchased on e-bay was equal to the cost of this program. I would highly recommend!



RIP-OFF
2008-07-21 - I bought the Rolling Stones Cover to Cover and was very disappointed in the program BONDI. At first I could only get the second CD 1984-1995 to work. So thinking that there was something wrong with the other 2 CD's I returned the program. Well after a week of waiting for the replacement to come in I tried it out and now I can only access one magazine. The rest will not open regardless of how long you wait. And if you try to get in touch with the BONDI Company they don't respond. I don't recommend this set to anyone and I can't believe that rolling stones put their name on this product. I would give it a negative five stars rating. Don't buy it's just a rip-off.

Wowzo-Someone finally invented a pop culture time machine.
2008-02-25 - This little set of discs is like having the entire run Up until the middle of 07 in microfiche to read whenever you want. If you have an incredible amount of time, you can start in 1967 and ride the RS express through time until coming off the tram in 07. Classic rock fan? How about reading about all your favorite acts as they happened. Jim Morrison's antics? Jimi's breakthrough? Pink Floyd? Led Zeppelin? It's a big bowl of candy, man, and your flavor is probably there. Hip Hop fanatic? It's all there as well. Satire? Cynicism? It's all in here.
There are only two warnings I can give you:
1. This does not work well with Windows Vista.
2. If you are into pop culture, this is an incredible time eater.
Enjoy and rock on!!!
:)

Rolling Stone-The Best.
2008-02-22 - A unique way to remember the past, and present. Always a great magazine for the music, and culture based. One should own this collection, either for nostagia, or research. Even the ad's are sentimental. Good, maybe best anthology of Americana on the market.
